How this won an award God alone knows.
A lot of arse-pulls and it felt like someone randomly ripped pages out of each chapter.
The atmosphere was decent but I feel the author tried way too hard to make this manga something it isn't. I feel like I've read or seen way better attempts at this type of narrative.
Overall story was weak and unmemorable, characters were very one dimensional and uninteresting, art was OK, it started to get interesting at the end but overall enjoyment was a complete miss.
Only good thing to come from this was I found his other manga, of which I enjoyed 'Hajime' the most, although I found it was too short.
I can, however, relate to the MCs ideation of killing someone he's fond of, strangely. Maybe this will be somewhat enjoyed by someone who has just been introduced to the genre.
Not your best work, Otsuichi. 4/10.
